Zach Charbonnet set for more tests on knee, Seahawks optimistic injury is not serious

Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet left Saturday's game against the 49ers with a knee injury, but initial assessments suggest the injury may not be severe. Head coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism post-game, indicating that while further medical testing is required, the team does not believe Charbonnet's knee is structurally damaged. At the time of his exit, Charbonnet had recorded five carries for 20 yards. In his place, Kenneth Walker delivered an impressive performance with 19 carries for 116 yards and three touchdowns. Despite Walker's role as the starting running back, Charbonnet has been crucial in short-yardage situations, contributing significantly to the team's first downs and touchdowns during the regular season. The Seahawks aim to have both running backs available for the upcoming NFC Championship Game.
